I 45 Cross Guy
The Man on a 40-Day Mission with Cross video clip got a lot of people asking how they could show something to the world too. It actually sparked the following conversation on which by no means was any intent of any parties brought to light, but which does show that people themselves want something to show.
12/21/11 9:59 pm conroe guy: how can i contact the guy carrying the cross
12/21/11 9:59 pm Lamed: he will probably be out along I45
12/21/11 9:59 pm Lamed: but you may want to know a little more about him before you take up his cause
12/21/11 10:01 pm conroe guy: can you give me the contact info for the guy carrying the cross
12/21/11 10:01 pm Lamed: I do not think anyone here has it
12/21/11 10:02 pm Lamed: but if you go out to join him, what is your statement?
12/21/11 10:02 pm conroe guy: I want show people this clip. Great Job on this story
12/21/11 10:02 pm Lamed: Richard Blessing kind of has the novelty on this one already
12/21/11 10:03 pm Lamed: he did already go around the world with his cross for years
12/21/11 10:04 pm conroe guy: My statement would be to agree with the things that man said. peace in the cross for people to see
12/21/11 10:04 pm Lamed: I would say that if you want to make the ultimate statement, come back to Torah knowing that you get the opportunity to become righteousness through Yeshuah HaMashiach while letting your walk be your statement
12/21/11 10:04 pm Lamed: but maybe that is just me
12/21/11 10:05 pm Lamed: this guy has one cross for one season. we have G-d's Law and grace of salvation to keep trying for the rest of our lives
12/21/11 10:06 pm Lamed: ever really keep Sabbath? The real Biblical one?
12/21/11 10:06 pm Lamed: when you can do that and more, then you are ready to tell the world you really are Christ like because He did
12/21/11 10:06 pm Guest1221: I agree this about the 40 day crusade story. This is the kind of thing people need to see. Would appreciate contact info especially if there was a church mentioned.
12/21/11 10:07 pm Lamed: They need to see the church becoming HaShuva Torah
12/21/11 10:08 pm Lamed: and I have the whole letter of Romans and Galations to back that one
12/21/11 10:08 pm Lamed: total support of salvation by grace while coming back to G-d by His way and not what the world says it is. Requotes of Torah law all over the place
12/21/11 10:09 pm Lamed: when the church starts doing that, we will not need the cross guy
12/21/11 10:09 pm Lamed: because they will know who are His by their Love as they keep His commandments
12/21/11 10:10 pm Lamed: and since he was the Word in flesh, it makes sense we should be doing the Word. Not Talmudic, but G-d's simple Laws of living
12/21/11 10:13 pm Lamed: and I assume by the quiet, that I have either lost the audience or got some to thinking
The problem here is not necessarily that the cross guy is trying to make the statement that Christmas is a Christ thing, which many people mean it to be when it is not (yet for most of them it is, but I refer you to the historical season of Yule, Mithra the sun god, and other pagan facts). The real issue is that no one ever thinks that if we know that the truth of Scripture is that Yeshuah was born around the Feast of Tabernacles to come and tabernacle or abode with His people, then he would have been conceived around the time of Chanukkah as the Light come unto the world at the time of the Festival of Lights at the Dedication of the Temple remembrance in order to come and dedicate those who believed in Him to the Father in Heaven.
See how easily everything that is in Scripture and coming from a Scriptural bases, fits nicely into the timeline of G-d? Whereas, we as a society have made this thing called Christmas coming from pagan and Constantinian and Catholicized roots to mean whatever we can make all the symbols and traditions mean to anyone for anything. It is just too unbalanced, to unexplanable as people try to find root meanings or creations of the symbols, and too not based in the truth. Big for instance here: how do you Biblically explain Rudolph Reindeer to a child? Hard one, because it is a Coca-cola advertizing campaign creation! And believe me, there are tons more examples like that.
How about if we all study and know the Feasts of the L-rd and start practicing His timeline in preparation for His coming to reclaim His bride so that we know what to do when He gets here? How about we start keeping Sabbath (The Biblical One (Ref. The L-rd’s Day, The Day of the L-RD, and The Sabbath) chosen by G-d which has been the center of G-d's Chosen People - and not Sunday) and loving our neighbor more. How about we find ways to take care of our elderly so the government does not have to, and help others to do the same when they are not able because of corporate greed? How about we all start becoming hashuva Torah with the knowledge that we can keep trying to walk in the ways of G-d using His Torah Law (not necessarily Talmudic or burdensome oral traditions never supposed to be written down as is explained in its first chapter) while knowing that when we fail we have the grace of the price paid for our shortcomings by the blood of Yeshuah HaMashiach so that we can keep on trying and living like we should?
Maybe then we will indeed be faith with works which is a living faith and not works alone which is dead and under penalty of conviction by Law.
Maybe then, we will not need cross guy and everyone will see the church acting like the church and be amazed by our awesome G-d working through His people every day.
